72 G Bow

[cooltop]

I have a 72 gallon bow that use to be a saltwater systme. I am converting it to freshwater. I was wanting to know about the ligths. Can i use my 48" 6X54 Nova Pro Extreme T5 fixture and if so what bulbs should i use?

Will this be a planted tank or fish only?

Unless you want to go high tech planted or only run 2 bulbs (if possible), I would not recommend that fixture for FW. It'll grow just about any coral you wanted to keep though.

6500k-10000k bulbs but like hn said only need 2-3 bulbs max for most cases.

I dont think I will have planted tank but could be am option later. Yes you can run 3 lights only in it. It has 2 serperate switches on it to run 3 or all 6. What would be a good fixture to get then if this will not work ?
